The idea of ​​origin

The desire to build a monument to Tatishchev has been brewing among the city authorities for a long time (since the early 90s). Even a sculptor (A. Kuznetsov) was appointed, financial assistance was provided by Avtovazbank. Clay and reinforcement were also purchased. But the ensuing crisis ruined all plans. The clay model looked like an equestrian statue, and Tatishchev had a letter in his hands.

As time passed, the project revived again, and a competition was even appointed, where Kuznetsov’s competitor was revealed - the sculptor Pronyushkin. His project represented Tatishchev standing near the globe.

Postal Troika Museum

In the city of Togliatti, on Revolutionary Street, in the most ordinary post office, occupying the second floor of the building, a small, but no less interesting, exhibition was located. The collection of this historical museum tells the story of a general retrospective of the improvement of postal services over an entire era; at the exhibition you can see both equipment from the last century and new office equipment that is directly related to the post office. In the museum you can also look at rare stamps and postcards with envelopes, as well as purchase something for your personal collection.

Population

At the beginning of the twentieth century, the city's population was almost 600 people. The city was considered a resort. It also grew a local variety of onion, which is why it was called the “onion city.”

Now the population of Togliatti exceeds 700,000 people. In terms of population, it is among the top 20 cities in Russia. The first settlers of Togliatti were baptized Tatars, and now representatives of more than 100 nationalities live in it.

The city's population almost doubled in the 70s. 19th century during the construction of the automobile plant, which became a city-forming enterprise. At this time, a new district appeared in Tolyatti - Avtozavodsky. Now it is the largest region of the Volga region. The city also has Komsomolsky and Central districts.

The city's population is larger than that of Montenegro or Iceland.

Tolyatti Art Museum

The founding date of the museum is considered to be 1987. The Art Museum borrowed its first exhibits from the art gallery; today the collection consists of more than ten thousand objects of artistic and historical value, paintings created by famous Soviet and post-Soviet classics are considered especially valuable. The museum regularly organizes private exhibitions, exhibits from museums from all over the country, as well as competitive works. In addition to works by local artists, children's drawings from competitions, here you can admire art objects from the Soviet era, as well as Chinese graphics.

Monument to Devotion

Like any city, Togliatti has its own legends. One of them was illustrated in a bronze monument on Yashin Street. A statue of a dog, created through donations from citizens, stands on the side of the road in an ordinary area, among high-rise buildings. This touching monument was erected in honor of a dog who survived a car accident and waited for his owners at the scene of the accident for five years. This is Tolyatti’s answer to Hachiko. The first film from the city's film studio was dedicated to a dog named Verny.

Kuneevsky forest

The territory has the status of a regional reserve, separating two urban areas. In the “Stavropol Pine Forest” there is an amazing variety of plants and animals, including Red Book plants. The Kuneevsky forest is loved by local residents; in winter, tourists and local residents have access to ski trips, which they willingly attend, keeping in mind the rules of behavior in the recreational area. In the warm season, tourists love to arrange photo sessions here, riding horses, enjoying the unique tree and shrub landscape of the reserve.

Assumption Church

The temple, erected at the end of the last century, immediately became one of the main attractions of Tolyatti architecture. The reason for this was the similarity with the chapel on Prechistenskaya Embankment, as well as the appearance of the church, similar to a wooden house from a fairy tale. Visiting guests love to take memorable photos against the backdrop of the Assumption Church, because it is impossible to ignore this small architectural miracle.

Name

The city was founded in the mid-18th century. Vasily Nikitich Tatishchev, a Russian engineer and political figure from the time of Anna Ioannovna.

At first, the future city of Togliatti was called Stavropol. To distinguish this city from Stavropol in the Caucasus, it began to be called Stavropol-on-Volga. However, contrary to the generally accepted opinion. This name has never been official.

And on August 28, 1964, the city was renamed Togliatti in honor of the General Secretary of the Italian Communist Party Palmiro Togliatti, who died on August 21, 1964 during a trip to Crimea.

In the 90s, a referendum was held to return the city to its former name, but less than half of the residents came. And the majority of those who came voted “against”. Also, the city was not affected by the “fashion” for renaming streets. Almost all streets have retained their former names.

The original purpose of the city was protection from nomads.

Automotive capital

Zhiguli cars are produced in Tolyatti. The name comes from the Zhiguli Mountains, which are located on the opposite bank of the Volga. The city hosts various motorsport competitions.

The car production plant (AvtoVAZ JSC) was built in 1966. It was a joint project with the Italian concern FIAT.

Industry in Tolyatti is not limited to automobile manufacturing. The chemical industry is developed: the city is home to the world's largest ammonia production plant.

But there are also disadvantages: the presence of large-scale production in the city does not have the best effect on its ecology. The noise in the city exceeds the established sanitary standard of 55 dB.

After the economic crises of 1998 and 2008. Many enterprises in the light and food industries, banks, and construction organizations went bankrupt. Now Tolyatti is included in the list of Russian cities with the most difficult socio-economic situation.
